Dropping line is a "new" thing.

I mean, i didn't have a close relationship with him before or during his week or so stay so, can't really expect me to keep in touch with him afterwords. Well, hell he didnt even tell us his plans to drop then he shut his phone off for few days by time i guess he turned it back on i stopped caring to reach out. First time i seen him was maybe few months after i crossed and it was like seeing a ghost. Don't think we said anything besides wassup.
Before i woulda faded him if i saw him, but now i'll prolly be more cordial. He made his bed, he has to lie in it. Nothing no more for me to be tight over.

We treat them like sh*t on a stick, sort of like how we treat you. I stopped talking to the two dudes who dropped on my line. |

This guy dropped my line and crossed Sigma the same year. If I see him around, I normally speak and keep it moving but I let it be known that he was online for Alpha phirst.

nobody dropped, but someone did get put off... it was wierd at first, but then, we ended up feeling bad for her, because it was more of a personality clash with the advisor, and now, she cant even apply anymore! We all felt the advisor went a little over board.. she was really just flexing her authority and proving a point.. she wanted to scare us, she didnt have to do the girl like that though. What made it really bad, was her sister is an AKA from the same school, all of them knew she was online with us.. so of course, she couldnt go that way now... she's an eternal pyramid  She wanted Delta BAD too. Lesson learned: sometimes, shut the fukk up! |

It's a long story which led to his drop. You would have to PM me for details there.

The dude who dropped from my line tried to lie and say he was the bruhs like 3-4 years ago. Actually claimed our year and all. I haven't seen him but if I did I'd speak. I was bitter for awhile because he could have reallly fucked our process up and we paid for him dearly. If anyone pledged for real then you should know.... people don't drop the line let him drop and its your fault.
Furthermore people dropping line isn't anything new either atleast at Bloody Pi Chapter and that was from the lips of 7 Pi 1925 whom I was fortunate enough to meet as a Neo.

Though this "question" is curious as hell,  no one dropped from my line. I suppose had anyone dropped, I likely wouldn't care a great deal one way or the other. It would have been that individual's choice. |

yah, she messed with the wrong advisor.. she made a example out of her... my ug advisor has served in a national capacity and use to make it known that she had pull... her dumbass tested her, and she showed her! The main reason why she has been the advisor since the chapter was started.... most are too scared to try to vote her out. They did it one.. not good... lets just say chapter was inactive for a few years..

Well my #2 dropped like 3 weeks into the process and then tried to come back. Our Dean said it was up to us if we wanted him to come back. We pretty much had a general concensus that it would be a hinderance for the whole line.....but needless to say he came back on the next line and crossed so I harbored no ill feelings. It just wasn't his time

My line had two bounce very early on even before any real organized chaos ensued. I’m talking within the first three days before they even truly “earned” their grit. There was no hard feelings with that as we charged it to them being unaware of the sacrifices the process really entailed.
What really sucked though was when an ex-LB dropped after what seemed like, looking back, the halfway point of our process. That messed with us emotionally because despite the fact that all hell was breaking loose, we were all one unbreakable unit by that point. It was frustrating though, because with this dude, it was ALL mental. On the physical tip, he was rock solid and refused to be broken down – He was good money. In terms of learning, retaining, and reciting info solo & in unison – Good Money.
However, the constant mind games and fear of the unknown that was to come caused anxiety and was too much for him to process day in and day out. The rest of us knew his weakness and tried to keep him mentally strong to endure, but it was simply not to be. One night before set, dude completely went awol and never came back – Wouldn’t accept our calls & moved in his boys crib off campus to avoid being seen or found.
At first we were hurt, then angry with him, then just disappointed with him, and then had to get over it quick in order to press on. No hard feelings about it now though. I’ve seen him a few times since graduation, but outside of a “what’s up?” and handshake, he seemed pretty reluctant to speak and tried to keep his distance. We have a mutual friend who recently told me he never got over the whole thing and now wants to pursue Alpha via Grad chapter when an opportunity arises. I truly wish him well.

To make a long story short dude doesn't talk to any of us except one guy anymore.
The day he dropped the ENTIRE day I was on the phone, outside of classes trying to convince him to stay. I was pleading with this dude, had old heads and our ADP on the phone all trying to get him to stay. He felt like our Dean and one other bro had it out for him (they did), but I told him sometimes shit is like that.
The previous night we were in set, lets just say he had a bad night and things were a wrap after that. I was pissed when he dropped because he was being real lame about certain things and then he just never spoke to me again. It's kind of ridiculous because out of everyone on our line I was the only one who seriously put in the work to save his ass night in and night out.

Greeks waste time trying to beat and scare people off of line sometimes. Why invest time and knowledge into a guy and let them quit so late in the process? |

Greeks waste time trying to beat and scare people off of line sometimes. Why invest time and knowledge into a guy and let them quit so late in the process? Nupey - I totally disagree. A Dean is there to teach, instruct, guide, and mediate between his Bros and his sons in order to protect his sons from the process becoming overly chaotic (as it sometimes does). In addition, a good Dean should most definitely instill confidence and provide encouragement. However, a Dean is not there to plead, persuade, or negotiate with a pledgee as to why they shouldn’t drop when said person totally decides that they’ve had enough. That is for his line brothers to do – The ones who have been closest to him in set and out of set, protected him and know all his strengths and weaknesses. In most cases, the line will be held accountable. In the case of this dude, he wasn’t brought on line to be “beaten and scared off” so he would drop, just as none of us were. I can’t speak for anyone else – But where I’m from, if you are chosen to make line, it’s because the chapter got to know you, sees something in you, and actually WANTS you there. Regardless, you are STILL going to humble yourself, comply with & endure the process constructed by the chapter if you want to cross. So while members may want you there, and even get to a point where they are privately pulling for you to make it, the process still is what it is. It won’t be watered down to ease you through for the sake of convenience. You learn what is expected, perform as expected and deal with the heat that is dealt for the time specified. Period. That said, it’s not about the Dean or chapter “letting someone quit so late in the process”. At no point in the process is a pledgee held against his will. This is a process he is submitting to and if for any reason they refuse to go on, they can bounce. People dropping out late in the game is not that uncommon, but to blame those instances on the Dean is a reach. Pledge processes gradually get hotter and hotter as time goes on, and for those that don’t learn to adapt, they usually tap out. It’s why there are so many “Eternals” in all of our Orgs floating around. It happens. |
